Ribble: proposed long-eared bat rules misidentify forest as part of problem or solution

RHINELANDER - The northern long eared bat might end up on the endangered species list, and that could impact when loggers can harvest trees. The move would restrict cutting during a month long period in the summer.

Researchers think that could help the bat fight white nose syndrome. The disease forces bats to wake up during hibernation. That leads to starvation or dehydration.

Rep. Reid Ribble (R-WI 8th District) believes the proposed rules don't identify the right problem.
